South Sacramento Community Planning Advisory Council

Make Your Voice Heard

Next South Sacramento CPAC Meeting is today – May 18, 2016 at 6: 30 p.m. in the Sheriff Community Room 7000, 65th Street, Suite B, Sacramento, CA 95823. 

Interested in having “a say” in the projects going forward in South Sacramento?  Then maybe you should attend a meeting of the South Sacramento Community Planning Advisory Council (South Sacramento CPAC). 

Generally, CPACs were created in the unincorporated County to facilitate and encourage direct citizen participation early in the planning process when it’s supposed to be easier for the project proponents and decision-makers to respond to public concerns.  CPACs gather community responses to proposed projects.

What kind of projects?  These can range from broad policy questions that apply countywide, to small development projects of only local interest.  Entitlements reviewed include General Plan and Zoning Code amendments to plans, zoning matters and use permits.

What goes on during a CPAC meeting?  During a typical meeting, the people advocating for a project will make a presentation to members of the particular CPAC and the members of the public who attend.   The council will ask questions and express any of their concerns.  Then, members of the public will be asked for input on the project.  General public response/specific concerns are recorded in the CPAC minutes and forwarded to Planning and Environmental Review for inclusion in staff reports.

CPACs are advisory only and do not make final decisions. CPAC recommendations and neighborhood input, however, are carefully weighed by the final decision-making bodies.  The public can provide input directly to any subsequent hearing body that takes final action through letters or public testimony during the hearing.

The members of the South Sacramento CPAC are Burke Lucy, Todd Lambert, Orga Pacheco, and John Newman.
